Thanks for the replies, but most of what was said was kinda Greek to me. GW1 was a 3D environment was it not?, and a LOT of people played (and still do) GW1 so they must have liked it.
I think the programmers did an awesome job with GW1 and I loved all of the world and the interface worked great for me. Maybe I’m just an old fart (not telling my age) who is not used to newfangled interfaces. I would have thought that GW2 was the old way and GW1 was the new and improved

The GW1 mouse interface was sooo nice. Just point the cursor at a spot and click the left mouse button and your character automatically went there. Or while going there you could change direction by just holding the button down and moving the mouse. If you held the right mouse button down and moved the mouse it would show up or down on the terrain. The center mouse wheel would zoom the view.

Now after installing GW2 iI find that it is nothing like that and it is a pain in the a— to navigate.

Yea I know that I can reassign the keyboard / mouse functions, but it is still not the same. I have assigned to center (mouse3) button as “W” but I still have to hold down the center button and the right button at the same time to walk and change direction simultaneously.
Any comments?
